I read the piece.
A very good thing he is only acting director.
They must, must get someone in who can form a rational argument, an argument that warrants some respect from those outside the Israeli sphere.
This piece didn’t. It simply accused all and sundry of anti-semitism.
The tactic does not work in rational circles. It’s a tired and debunked strategy, either childish or disingenuous, you choose which.
Must do better.

I’m sorry, I must have missed that part. Could you direct me where in particular “all and sundry” are “accused of antisemitism”.

I am loathe to ask but, undortunately, allegations that those inside the Israeli sphere spray out unwarranted accusations of antisemitism in each and every direction, is a tired and debunked strategy, either childish or disingenuous.

It seems perfectly rational, from a historical, political and sociological point of view to note the correspondences between later 19th and early 20th century myths of “Jewish power” with those of what such rational circles are calling “the Israel Lobby”. Correspondences such as, “overwheening influence (Seamus Milne)”, nefarious (Rupert Read), “most powerful and influential” (0borne), which were also common currency, despite the same lack of evidence, some 100 years ago.
